Down Periscope (1996)
Down Periscope is a comedy without laughs. It’s goofy, light, and amiable, but it’s just not funny. It’s so unfunny, it is actually painful to see just how hard they try to be funny and...
Private Lessons (1981)
Titillating stuff for its time, Private Lessons was but one of many films to come out in the early 80s about teenage boys that manage to score with older women willing to show them the act...

Hooper (1978)
Hooper is a fan favorite film meant almost exclusively for fans of Burt Reynolds and the down-home country boy humor he was known for in the late 1970s. Most of the films he did...
